terminal

This is a terminal widget in Tkinter and Python.

Note: running applications such as gcc or such, which have infinite loops, will hang this, since no new thread/process is created when executing user input.

Installation

Download the folder and in command-line, travel to the 'terminal' directory. Use pip install ..

How to use

A simple script

from tkinter import *
from terminal import *

root = Tk()
terminal = Terminal(root)
terminal.pack()
root.mainloop()

A terminal will be shown.
